Downtown Riverfront Specific Area Plan <br />FIGURE 4 -7: BLOCK PATTERN <br />BLOCK PATTERN <br />Eugene's typical block pattern measures 400'x 400' (centerline <br />to centerline) and is subdivided by mid -block alleys in both <br />directions. On the riverfront site, the block pattern is adjusted to <br />respond to the arc of the river, railroad corridor, and location of <br />existing buildings. New blocks are oriented to take advantage <br />of beautiful views and establish view corridors down secondary <br />streets to the river. Mid -block alleys are necessary for service <br />and access but their locations can be flexible if connectivity <br />requirements are met. <br />The block structure responds to immovable conditions <br />(Willamette River, Ferry Street Viaduct, Union Pacific Railroad) <br />and the need to create public access to the riverfront. Where <br />possible, the block structure connects to Eugene's historic <br />urban fabric and supports the creation of a vibrant, pedestrian - <br />oriented public realm. <br />Rowell Brokaw Architects ■ 21 <br />3rd Ave <br />160' <br />51° <br />� <br />160` 160' GO' <br />S <br />I 4 <br />I I <br />I <br />j <br />io <br />4th Ave <br />I <br />II Y <br />3 a <br />Y <br />I5 <br />51h All <br />I I <br />/ <br />7 I <br />I I I I <br />\ <br />�\ <br />I+ V <br />I I I <br />I `�•.� <br />r <br />•+ r � :4 1 � <br />— <br />_ <br />h <br />a � <br />"as <br />♦ \ <br />�p <br />6th Ave <br />tl n <br />I <br />+ <br />I <br />f <br />_ <br />____ <br />7th A­ <br />— <br />` k <br />I I <br />I f ri; <br />J <br />I I Y <br />I I I <br />I <br />I-_ <br />I <br />I <br />I ! \` 4 <br />I�I <br />/ <br />—_ - — _ - -- <br />eil Ave <br />L___________, <br />I mo _ =__ —_-- <br />FIGURE 4 -7: BLOCK PATTERN <br />BLOCK PATTERN <br />Eugene's typical block pattern measures 400'x 400' (centerline <br />to centerline) and is subdivided by mid -block alleys in both <br />directions.
